摘要:We investigate whether issuance type, including seasoned equity offering and private placement, or financing objectives, including investment, recapitalization, and working capital management, have higher impacts on long-run stock performance. We find that issuance type affects long-run stock returns whereas financing objectives do not. Further, private placement (PP) issuers which report a working capital financing objective underperform in the subsequent year compared to seasoned equity offering (SEO) issuers which report an investment financing objective. The Fama-French-Carhart 6-factor regressions of long-short strategy for these two groups provide 0.72% of abnormal returns per month. SEO issuers with investment objective are reliably signaling profitable opportunities whereas other financing issuers are more likely to be opportunistic market timers. The Fama-MacBeth regression that controls for several firm characteristics shows that PP firms with recapitalization and working capital management financing objectives underperform non-issuers by 1.19% and 1.10% per month, respectively. Also, we learn that issuers from the property and construction industry do not suffer from long-run underperformance.
